Get a fire. Keep it real. Get the power. Let's go. I will go. LSU. We caught it. LSU. We caught it. I'm headed to the midget. Get a fire. I'm always keeping real. Get a fire. LSU. We caught it. It's the power. I will go. LSU. We caught it. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Let me clear my throat. It is the final prediction for PHL LSU versus Ole Miss. Listen to some of the link Kiffin show. And I have done my own reconnaissance on the Sam Levit doubtful status. Hopefully link Kiffin updates us with that info here in just a moment. But welcome in. Take a deep breath in. And a deep breath out. I saw Harry Styles do that recently.

Deep breath in. Deep breath out. And I'm looking at you right now. No matter what. Since we beat Clemson and we beat Louisiana Tech, our season isn't over if we fall to the mighty Ole Miss Rebels at their home stadium this weekend. And I hate to say that they are mighty offensively. They are mighty, but defensively, I think we will be able to exploit them. So comment below who you think is going to win the game. And this is what I know about Sam Levit. So the first thing is he was indeed out yesterday or very limited yesterday and to my understanding Lenin Clark took a decent amount of the first team reps. Now, a lot of you know I've spoken to Lenin before. I did not speak to him last night. But I can say though, just based on my understanding, Lenin is ready to go if he is needed to go to the point where we did a film study on him earlier today just to see if he has looked really

good through the first couple of games and Cliff notes version he has. But starting and actually playing against actual defense instead of mop up duty is a completely different thing as a lot of you know. So Levit returns to practice today in a bigger capacity for the walkthroughs and all of that per mat, Moscone. And I've also heard basically the same thing. And I spoke to a member of the orbit regarding one of these quarterbacks that the expectation is Sam Levit will start. Now what's interesting is Bud Elliott actually did the deep dive on this. But over the past couple of seasons, players under Lane Kiffin listed as doubtful have rarely played. Now questionable players play quite a bit and a guy like who we love TJ Dottery, he was listed as questionable trade S green listed as questionable questionable.

They're probably going to play. The question is will Sam Levit be the second doubtful player for Lane Kiffin to actually play over the past couple of seasons. So the stand I believe 14 doubtful players, 13 of them have not played when Lane Kiffin and the staff have listed that player is doubtful. So it's going to be interesting. My best guess is Sam Levit will start on Saturday. That is my best guess. But Lane and Clark is ready to go. Okay, never has my phone blown up as much as it has because we also had one of the big barstable sports personalities tweet out some of my Lane and Clark content and that wouldn't make a viral and our phone just kept blowing up last night. So kind of a crazy situation. Obviously I'm cheering for Lane and I've gotten to know him a little bit, but I am more

so cheering for LSU and I owe it to you guys to let you know who I believe gives LSU the best shot at winning this game on Saturday in the question unequivocally is Sam Levit. So I thought I don't believe in Lane then. It's the exact opposite. I do believe he is good enough to go out there and win as a game, but I prefer Sam Levit in a spot such as this one. Now, next thing and I think this is very relevant. Can the LSU defense stop turning at shameless? That is a big question. We did our full film study on him yesterday and you know going into this everyone talking about how dominant the LSU defense has been and look, I think it's going to be really hard for them to stop turning it at. I really do think so. And if I am wrong, I am wrong because I'm telling you right now if this LSU defense has a big outing versus Ole Miss, I have a tough time believing that we are not witnessing

a very special unit and it's so much harder to have an elite defense than what it was in yesterday year, right? So it's a weird thing. It is a very weird thing going into this game where I am a little bit lower than most on our defensive matchup going up against Ole Miss. Now what I would also say is I was shocked at how bad the Ole Miss offensive tackles have looked in the first couple of weeks of the season. They have looked really bad. It's not too shocking because when Lane was at Ole Miss, he never really had elite elite offensive lineman. Sure, Bryson Sanders is good, the angel of ponds and so on and so on. But the truth still remains the same. Those positions in particular for Ole Miss, they simply could not block Charlotte's defensive ends. And now they are going up against LSU's defensive ends.

Prince William A. Mey Allen, who knows this Ole Miss offensive line pretty well, I adore this matchup. And the truth is, you could be the most mobile, extraordinary quarterback on the planet Earth. If you have offensive lineman that are getting beat off the football immediately, it simply doesn't matter how mobile you actually are. So take that for what it's worth. Do I believe LSU has a leg up at that spot? I do. I just sink with the weight training at place. It does slow down your aggressiveness. So you take a look at Prince William, his sacks up to this point. A good chunk of them have happened on inside moves. Inside moves are more effective versus pure pocket quarterbacks. So you're going up against a dual thread. They're able to break that container and it could end up hurting you. So there's that aspect to it as well.

But if Ole Miss is off its tackles, they're just getting whooped. It's just not going to matter and we're going to dominate. So we'll see. And if I were Ole Miss, I am running a lot more to tie in stuff because I am just not going to go into this game. Knowing that LSU's defense vans are playing at this level, I'm not going to lose the game to Prince Will and Jordan Ross knowing that they have been as good as they have been. Now the other side of that is LSU's best position group is probably their linebacker. So do you prefer to play 11 personnel sets and spread them out and try and run underneath them? I don't know. It's going to be interesting. Something else I thought that was very fascinating when I was breaking down Ole Miss is I thought Kwan Lacy looked really good versus Charlotte. And I know there's been differentiating opinions. We had our guests on last night. Chris Gordy.

He kind of pushed back on that. He said he was kind of shocked that Kwan played. I am too. I thought they would have just rested him and just had him ready for LSU but he played. And even though he didn't have any of those big... McDonald's is putting value back on the menu. Whether you're craving a big Mac, McNuggets are sausage egg and cheese, McGrittle's, make it a meal and save. Your favorite is now your wallet's favorite too. Extra value meals are back.

I really did. And obviously they had the transfer from Michigan State who's also a pretty good backup. They also have JT Lindsey as their third string back. So they should be pretty good at running back and then at wide receiver is where I think they are weak. Do Salisander is very, very, very good. But he obviously talked quite a bit this week. I think the rest of the receivers are kind of just guys. So you know, I'm telling you right now as much as I think this will be a high scoring game from a lot of your comments and just in general, a lot of what I have read for people that I trust, it does seem. Okay, it does seem that the LSU defense is in a better spot than what I think they're

in right now and that this could be a big, big, big game for them going up against this potent Ole Miss offense. Okay. Let's go to DHW. We've already had Tony legendary CEO Jack B. Sonny says we should start landing and we're going to get to all your comments and I welcome to the channel, Mr. Michael. Is Sam Levin streaky or a real high-sertrophy contender? Well, he was just a bit to your definition of streaky. Did he have stretches of play versus Arizona State that made you go what the F? Yeah, there was some of that. He's a gamer, he's a competitor, he's going to do whatever it takes to be ready to play. ESPN has even reported on how obsessive he is about this game. So I do think Sam will be ready to go, but yeah, you're right. The down-to-down consistency needs to be better.

And then also one thing I feel DHW. This was a concern going into the season. There are a lot of receivers on this team that have overlapping skill sets and you look at when he walk in, sees your pure slot guy and he's been so damn good in that role. Well, Jayce Brown is also a guy in that similar role. Can he step up on the outside and make plays? You have a guy like Trey Wilson who's had a good season up to this point. Well, he continues his great play outside of that fumble. Jackson Harris really started to come on. Had that bad drop, obviously versus Clemson, but he looked pretty good. I thought he had a few opportunities in this last game to make a few extra defenders miss. Hopefully we get to see that tackle breaking ability we saw at Hawaii. So look, the truth is this Ole Miss secondary is not a good group.

Jaylen Braxton has been a multiple year starter for them. He wasn't good at Arkansas. And now he is at Ole Miss and he had a treacherous game versus Louisville. So to me, I think the biggest matchup advantage for LSU is their defensive ends going up against Ole Miss's offensive tackles and LSU's wide receivers going up against this Ole Miss secondary that's not really been that good. And one thing I would say, I do not like it when a head coach is in a high profile matchup. In particular in the regular season, when he also has to call plays. So let me break this down for you. During the college football playoff, it's not a seven day strike from game to game. So I feel a little bit more comfortable with a play calling head coach because you just

have more time to do all the tasks at hand. Whereas if you are a play calling head coach, let's say obviously LSU doesn't have a play calling head coach, but Ole Miss does in peak holding. He still calls the defense. So think about all the media stuff he has to do. Think about all the extra administrative stuff. Of course they have been preparing for this before Charlotte, but it's still a lot on the play to peak holding to get ready for an offensive coordinator that knows him better than anyone else. And all that offensive coordinator has to do is call plays. That's it. So I do think even though all the pressure is on Lane Kiffin, the truth is the hardest thing for a head coach to do during a game is call plays if they actually do indeed call plays. It's why I'm still not a believer in Steve Sarkiesian because there's just so much pressure on a head coach to win a big game.

And I'll top of that you're also calling plays. So for me, when they have played the better defenses, peak holding got really been that good. 2024 versus Garrett Nussmeyer. And that LSU offense couldn't get off the field on fourth down. You played two men under in every play. Last year versus Georgia had a nine point lead in the fourth quarter. Guess what? Couldn't get off the field. Couldn't win that game. Then last year versus Georgia in the playoffs couldn't get off the field. Luckily enough, they did get a red zone stop and eventually the stripling pass happened and you won the game had a chance to win versus Miami. Couldn't get off the field versus Aliveau had a 14 point lead. They had no timeouts. Couldn't get off the field. So peak holding which he is known for being a defense coordinator has been more bad than he has been good.

When it comes to actually calling plays defensively versus the better teams. Now no one is going to deny his defensive prowess. He is a very bright defensive mind. You wouldn't have been hired by Sabin in link if and if that was to the contrary. He's a Louisiana guy as well. But play calling has been less than ideal. So I do think LSU has a huge coaching advantage in this game. I think the next week versus Texas A&M they will also have a big coaching advantage in that game as well. It's one of those things where you do have to try to sling in the staff to go out there and get it done. So let's go to Michael. Welcome to the channel Michael. You have got a big smile man. I like to see that. Maybe the strategy is to hold Sam back until the dirty attempts to take out our key players get stopped. Well, I'm glad you brought that up.

I do not think Ole Missus players are going to play dirty. I understand that that's been a prevalent theme this week. What I would say though is I did not think Ole Miss did something responsible by making this a light up wristband game. So I'll put it on the screen. At all like putting Ole Miss content on the screen. But they're going to have these light up bands at the stadium on Saturday. Play the wristband. If you have been to any concert or any big event, you have put one of these on your wrist before. If Ole Miss starts to lose, these are going to get chunked onto the field.

I do not think this was a responsible move. I think Ole Miss has handled this well. I want to shout out the LSU football report. They ordered funky pizza for the Oxford Police Department. I thought that was great. I feel like all the extra security has been great. They have even barricaded the LSU player section. So I felt like this security has been good this Mr. Mark. You do not want to give a hard object to a fan to throw onto the field. Then it gets into a pretty interesting dilemma. How good is the fan experience going to be for Ole Miss? And it would not shock me. This isn't me calling out Ole Miss fans because if I was in LSU season ticket holder and the roles were flipped, let's be honest, we would at least think about selling out here.

Tickets to this game are at a ridiculous price. To the point where you can justify paying off your entire season tickets and then some with this one game. You have to pay $1300 to state a Lakinta Inn. We're not talking about a four seasons. A Lakinta Inn. We were in New York City for four nights, stayed within a train ride to Madison Square Garden. And then paid $1300 for four nights in New York City. So this is the biggest event in the history of Oxford. That's not a shock. This is one of the biggest games LSUs ever played in. You could pay a lot of shit I'd off selling this ticket. I think about all the media, friends of the channel, snap back sports are there, bar schools there, got all these big sites, business reporters, all of it just so they can see this spectacle. Well, not everybody can get a media credential.

They're selling tickets. So I think the fan experience will still be hostile. There's going to be a lot of birds being flipped. But if you can set the tone early, you could take them out of this game pretty quickly. Okay, because I do think in the Ole Miss Fingens guts, I do think they feel their guy isn't good enough to stay toe to toe with Lane Kiffon. I truly do believe it. Okay. DHW. It's awesome to hang out with you again this year Carter brother and arms. I love you, man. I love you too, man. Love each and every one of you. Crazy. This is also interesting.

If you are an LSU fan and you have tickets in the Ole Miss student section for whatever reason, no person wearing an opposing team's gear or colors will be allowed entrance into the student section in Oxford. So I saw some LSU fans get kind of a turd by that. How could you deny somebody? Well, part of that's on us. We had a fan fight some students last year at a baseball game. It's also how they do it in England where if you're in an opposing section, you can't wear the other team's colors. It's not too out of the ordinary in particular in the student section. So I don't know how anybody would have tickets in the student section, but you know, Crowley, what's good? Hold it down in the northwest. Oh, baby.

But you know, I don't, I don't think any of you have tickets there. I don't know how many of you are even going. I should have done a poll earlier this week. How many pH Lers are actually going to again? So very, very interesting. Tony says just bring Mike and let him roam the stands out of control of the crybaby fans. Oh, yeah, let's go. Okay. I'm going to go ahead and see. Got into it's a mold of this fans today on social media. And I shouldn't have stepped into this and I take full blame for this. Okay. And last thing, Pierre says, what if they're ECU pirates, or what if Ole Miss has a QDog chapter and a megacifi?

I don't know if Ole Miss does that doubt they do. But if they have cues on campus and they have student tickets, are you really going to deny the cues? Is that what we're going to do? You're going to let the Omega sci fi throw the hooks in the student section and Oxford. And then you're going to go ahead and see if you can get a chance to get the CQ dogs. What if you want to wear purple and gold? What if that's the case? Daniel says he's watching from North Folk Nebraska. That's awesome. Okay. But I got into it with some Ole Miss fans about the growth. Okay. And this isn't a new rant. I'm not the best tailgator in terms of going to different SEC schools. I like Chris Phillips. I like Jack Settlement. People that put sweat equity into actually going to these games, not going to deny their

expertise on the subject. But every time I read a blog, people tell me about how the growth is overrated. The one time I went, it's kind of overrated. Not going to lie. Why is it that everybody that goes to an LSU game when it comes to tailgating? I say, oh, I'll live up to expectation. Why is it that every time people go to the Grove, two out of every three, you're like, yeah, it was good. Kitchen and bathroom professionals know what goes behind the tile matters.

I don't know. I think the growth is going to be lit. I just think Ole Miss fans are just extra visceral. Ole Miss drew first pre-game blood by serving Princess Papers. Oh, man. Now, I want to give you a timeline for how the rest of the show is going to go. At some point, I got to go pick up some soup for my wife. She is sick. I'm still getting over some congestion. And obviously, my finger still is in a lot of pain. Okay? So I got to go pick up some soup. I'll play some Lane Kiffin audio instead. I'll also play some Lane Kiffin or some of the Lane N' Clark film study just on here. But I do want to share one thing from the bottom of my soul regarding this matchup is

I am now scared that we are going up against red from Shawshank Redemption. Morgan Freeman is a guest picker at 89 years young. I don't remember the last time I saw Morgan Freeman in public. That scares me. That scares me. Ha, ha, ha. I think the last guest picker for College Game Day in Oxford was either Lane Kiffin or Katy Perry. I think it was either one of those. But Morgan Freeman? God. I don't know. I don't know about this. Do not know about this. That just makes you want to go damn. That is this. That is an all time pull for them to do that.

AP one of my favorite people on the planet. I just know the world. The Grove equals Highway Park. It's good to Jeffery. What is a professional photo? The Grove is a, how do you pronounce that? I'm not smart. Kids home to pronounce this for me. My wife gets on me all the time for not being able to pronounce things. I have no marked zones when it comes to my vocabulary and not a tailgate. Look I have had mostly great experiences in Oxford. She had it to my God Philip. Here's a big thing. We won't know Sam Levitt's true status until the injury report comes out a little bit later. Keith is like, oh, good, hey, soup. Oh, a swore.

Oh, yeah, that's in the, this is how country radio brain I am. Uh, in that in a Sam Hunt song, swore. It takes to the high levels. Okay, that's that's bad. Somebody shoot me now. Somebody shoot me now. We say, I'm a holding. We say hi to Skipper in past Christian. Paul fine mom is in Oxford. Yeah, he'd rather be somewhere else. It's kind of crazy though like. And and and it's so interesting that this game is taking so much energy out of this weekend. When the matchups for this weekend are absolutely phenomenal.

Let me put a better graphic. I know you guys don't like that one because that's all the scores on there. But I was like seeing the full schedule because I do think who you play before and after affects how you play moving forward. But I wanted to get into this right here. Okay. Take a look at this. Look at this slate of SEC games. Georgia versus Arkansas. Vainer versus NC state. The Jared Curtis first start. Alabama versus Florida state. Texas ain't him versus Kentucky. Mississippi state in South Carolina Florida and Auburn. This is a good slate. This is a really, really, really good slate. It's not in the lead slate. But it's very, very, very good. I can make a case in Mississippi state.

South Carolina is the most exciting game on the slate. It make a very strong case. Good seeing me in Hunts chat today. I don't think I was in Hunts chat but shout out. Think I talk about hunt palm. Hunt palm or shout out to Andy's great. Ole Miss Bands LSU gear just in that student section. Okay. Now coming up next we will continue the debate as we await the Sam Levit injury status. It's PHL.

Telling you man it's gonna be a crazy crazy crazy crazy weekend. I just have a small bone to pick with you guys because I feel as if

I want I want my viewers to have that one game at a time mentality but I do think big picture if we go one in one and we avoid an Owen to stretch here between all miss the text saying him sets up pretty nicely for us it does okay it really really does. Okay I want this to be a very common field thing today but there are a few other little nuggets I want to get to Omar Rohos. Six or one hadies were good to see you and we got the Ferris wheel photo. Oh but I hope you gave the little girls some funnel cake. I'm not gonna be upset with the loss this weekend. Now my answer cat says it's getting close Sam practice today I think you'll play AP says

not the hairiness. This goes to the ladies of phl if you are married to a hairy man or be fair to them in a phl if you are with a hairy man it's tough we shed you see a little tumbleweeds forming in the corners of rooms little balls of hair. It's tough and Bratz gets it I'll be at the A&M game. Us hairy folk it's hard man it is hard okay. LL angley performing tonight in Oxford.

Crazy LL angley. I do want to address this really quickly. Jay Johnson did speak to the media was a long press conference and I'm going to be straight up with you. I didn't listen to it. I just didn't. I do think though I saw this Andre from 247 sports I do not know how to say his last name but I like I love his coverage. He tweeted out one of the five stars that LSU brought in. This team is going to hit bombs. They are going to hit freaking bombs. Like Kai Washington is his name take a look at this shot. We'll get back in this football stuff. Jay Johnson and he's got a good problem now. It's going to be tough for him to set his line up this year.

Bam. If you've ever played baseball you know getting barrel on ball is better than sex. When you hit a baseball flush it's better than sex. It's just this. Dang it's good. Right on time. Got to meet Dane before the season. Let's go to Jordan. When you texted me everywhere you've been recently is just insane. One in one is a win least time for growth and development. Okay. Baseball or golf. Nothing beats it. Okay. One key player in this game that we have not spent a whole lot of time talking about is PJ Woodland. This could be a situation where they attack him instead of DJ picket or what they're going

to do is I feel like do Salisander is going to motion quite a bit. Who are they going to try and get him matched up versus non DJ picket defensive backs. It's going to take our guy stepping up to the plate and being really really really big in those spots. Something else we mentioned this in the film review as well. If I am Blake Baker I am crowding the line of scrimmage a lot versus LSU in this game. I'm crowding it a lot. And the reason is I said against LSU in soul miss. Trinidad has taken one sack this year and Lane if you want to hear him go wild on a subject. One of the biggest things he liked about Trinidad is how good he is at affording sacks. And he really didn't have any bad sack games outside of Florida last year. Miami to a certain degree.

But the only sack Trinidad had was when the line of scrimmage was crowded and Charlotte actually backed everyone out and did a rush three with the QB spot. I'm doing a lot of that. Okay I'm doing a lot of that because one thing that Trinidad has struggled with seeing are overhang defenders in zone. Okay. That is what I would do. One thing I would be very careful with with Chamblis is I am simply not blitzing him a lot. He is so good at dealing with the blitz. I would be very selective in how I actually decide to pressure him. And I also think I would trust my defensive backs in coverage versus all miss his skill guys. I'm still not a believer in the non do salix and receivers.

Even though Caleb Cunningham has shown some flashes, John T. Cook's a former five star. So if I'm Blake Baker, I am doing a lot of line of scrimmage crowding. I'm trusting my DB's and man. You know teams to me, it feels play more middle of the field closed. Coverage is I would just play some simple two man under mix in some of that as well. So obviously Blake's defensive prowess is 10 times better than mine. The one thing I would do though is versus Chamblis last year. Our defense played really well. It was when we gave up wide open games. That's when we started to hurt ourselves. And if I'm being fair, a lot of those wide open games were in the direction of Harold Perkins side of the field as was often the case.

So I do think we'll be a little bit more organized and I've given up wide open pitching catch conversions because we had quite a few of those. Dayquan right on a fourth down. Dayquan right to end the game. Ironically, another one of our players and winning walk in wide open. You just on a third and Placaman. Well, Rancid cats in here. Third in Ponce, Dula. When he just ran, sat and they're able to throw it in because we weren't lined up properly. So getting lined up is going to be big. And I also think our defense in many ways is going to be better suited for this game because well, we go up against an offense that goes fast. And John David Baker at a CU ran more place per game than all missed it. So he likes to go even faster than Lane Kiffin goes. So it's very, very, very, very interesting.

Yeah. And I've even read that Blake Baker has some NFL. I think it's a potential DC and FL vibes if this ends up being a big year for him. But I do think the most likely scenario would be him taking another college before job. Okay. I say Placaman. It's kind of interesting. Placaman's actually playing a game right now. I always say third in Placaman. Okay. All right, let's get another break in. Okay. Oh, we got an update. We got an update. All right. So we'll go to Thamel's report. I wanted to stay live until the Thamel report. So we'll get to that right after.

So we're actually getting ready to go live here. With the bills and the lions, I think this is a shootout for the ages. Let's go more on Josh Allen's passing yards. I'm sorry, Kevin Shepherd.

Let's go and take that. I was on the line. Okay, turn it on. What's not let me get my playing. Oh, it's because I barely missed it. I barely missed a cutoff. That's why you got to get it in early. Price picks. America's number one sports pick app. Should have done it earlier. God, do you think this game is going to be a shootout? Okay, so it's pretty big. Based on the stat we gave you a little bit earlier today, Sam Levit has been updated to questionable. Daffo is worse than questionable. So why is that big? Well, 13 of the 14 doubtful players on lane kiffons injury reports over the last two years have not played.

So let it going from doubtful to questionable is a huge upgrade. Huge. So I think he will play. And I think TJ dotty will play. Okay. So there you go. It's good to Jason. They don't seem to be going at lightning speed. They seem versus Louisville to be struggling to move fast. Yeah, I'll tell you this. Part of why they played at a slightly slower pace is that they had struggles with their snaps. They snap one over his head early in the game. And look, John David Baker was under some heavy nerves. All right, here's what we're going to do next five to 10 minutes.

I'm going to answer as many questions as we possibly can. If you super chat will keep this party moving. What's it? There's anything else. Well, Sam be affected if he does play. I'll do now. He thinks a big hit probably, but there's going to be so much adrenaline going through

his body. Let's go to Ian. What was the name I gave you the other day? Ian electric Ian. How well do I think we'll do containing chambles in the pocket? Yeah, I mean, that's going to be a sterling Lucas Blake Baker decision. So a lot of our best pastures moves have been interior moves. And there's a danger if you rush to the inside of a tackle, it's easier to break contained if you have the ability to move. So you know, it's going to be an issue. And don't forget, late post game show for this Saturday. I am loving doing the late post game show gives me a chance to rewatch the game before

we go live. Love it. I do wish he would have asked Sam about the or asked Lane about the quarterback injuries. I understand why he wouldn't. But I wish I could have heard them. Whoever runs the ball better will win. Probably right. Probably right. Really interested in how our DT's play against Trinidad. You'll tell you this, I think Ole Miss actually likes the interior of their offensive line

in this matchup versus LSU defensive tackles. I do. I just hope Lane makes it back alive. Yeah, there's good. It's always a concern man. Like I said earlier, I hate the fact that they gave Ole Miss and their fans these bands that they can throw onto the field pretty easily.

If they're starting to get beat, you better believe they're going to start chunking them towards the fans. Okay. Once again, I love this site. I want to go do a few extra things I picked up on from Ole Miss. We don't spend a lot of time talking about special teams, but Lucas Carnero is probably the best kicker in the SEC. He's one of the best SEC kickers I've seen period. He's already hit a long game winner as an absolute cannon of a leg. So this Ole Miss special team's unit pretty good. But Kai Frazier listed as questionable to back up. Pretty interesting. But the guy that I have really enjoyed watching is Cam Franklin. He's blocked a kick. He's one of these traditional, thicker edge players, suntering Perkins who we're very familiar

with. So we have a fourth matchup with them. More of your Harold Perkins type of player. Little Eccles as good as it gets at defensive tackle. Blake Purchase is also an interesting in. I've seen him play a decent amount this year. Luke Verelli, the linebacker transfer from Cal. Not in love with this Ole Miss back seven. And I think that's the weakest position group in this game, which are the Ole Miss defensive backs. Which is interesting because Janela Guero is a former five star. Pretty good player. But Jalen Braxton is someone who's experienced who you can attack. Don't go to the office side of the football. Thres Davis 55 was a traffic cone on tape. I love that matchup for LSU. Tommy Kinsler, same thing. You can see Carrius Kern who transferred over. He's third string. He might be just not good.

But the guy you got to know. Number six, Trinidad Chamberlain, number five, Juan Lacey, number one, Duce Alexander. Who has looked and played like James Sin Williams this year. Okay. All right, we do have to get one more break in and then we'll be back and I will give my final score prediction for LSU versus Ole Miss. It's a PHLI baby, let's go. Are you a die hard LSU fan?

Absolutely ridiculous.

And it starts malfunctioning. I love that. Like right when they took my money. Feel like my channel was being taken over by private equity. That's how it feels. Final score in this one. I've been on Ole Miss all summer that they were going to win this game. I hate that this is the first matchup versus a dual-thrive quarterback. QB run game. On the road. Ridiculous environment. But what I learned about Ole Miss today is their powers that be decided to get tacky, giving the papers to Prince Will. The week of the game, that's something LSU wouldn't do. And they talk about Lane Giffin being petty. When all of this has happened, simply because of the worst college football calendar ever made.

And look, there is a lot that you could criticize LSU about. A lot. There's a lot that I think a lot of you would say, hey, you know, I wish we weren't associated with that. Hey, I wish that person wouldn't have said that. I think a lot of us would agree with that. But it's interesting that a year's sixth quarterback who is a high-profile player in this game. He's the best player in this game. I think trade-as is better than him. But the most impactful player in this game is Trident Ad Jammless. Year six. At all Lane Giffin won, it was year five players. It seems as if the SEC has been against LSU in this game. Seems as if Ole Miss is the ones that are really claiming this thing up for more than a football game. And I get why. But ultimately, it comes down to what is between those white lines.

I think LSU's got the better roster. Thus, they will win this game. Final score. LSU wins. 38 to 30. That's actually too high of a score. It's interesting because if you go to our Patreon page, every advanced analytic projector has the under-actually hitting. And I have believed for a while now that this game is going to be higher scoring. But that does kind of frighten me that the sharper people thinks that this game will be lower scoring. How bad do you think it gets realistically if LSU wins? Yeah, it gets pretty bad. It gets pretty bad. I know this is just a talking point over and over. But Ole Miss fans are not going to want the wrist bands that are given to them, that are a hard object.

They're not going to want those if they lose. So they all throw them in unison towards the field. Well, here you are. Who's going to point out who? Jayce Mac says, yeah, but if it's lower scoring, we win. And I don't think it's close. Interesting. Do I think they'll score 30 on our defense? I think it's possible. I do. Ray says we have over 250 yards rushing. We win going away. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, honestly, all signs point to us having a big game through the air, if anything. I think it's going to be tough for us to run on them. I do. Okay.

So there you go. They did a lane kiffin roast yesterday. Oh, boy. How can you do a lane kiffin roast and he's not there? That is the number one rule of roasting. The person you're roasting needs to be there. But they did one. I knew one of the comedians on there. It's funny guy. But yeah. Jace Max says I have no faith in their defense. Interesting. Was it bad? I don't know. If it's funny, it's funny. Even if it, uh, if it talks bad about my coach, lane is willing to take a joke. And then I would like to,

maybe maybe go for it. Then I would like to start at a fairly low rate. Alright. All right, you all. That would do it for me, happy wife, happy life. Let me go take care of her. She's not feeling well. Car broke down during the stream yesterday and now she's not feeling well. It's going to amacab. Would you change your defensive gameplay? And if Clark was starting, Sam and Landon's play is pretty similar. Yeah, I would change it quite a bit. they are similar and I don't think the playbooks would change a whole heck of a lot. And I'm not going to never in a million years what I share something this close. And it be used as a potential ammunition and what could help Ole Miss going up against our offense. I don't think they're watching me, but but what I would say is their running styles are different.

Like, and I'll leave it at that. I'll just say that. Okay. I think Sam, you practiced today, spoke to people close to both parties and then get a whole lot of the levitt side of things. But what I can't tell you, I've spoken to Landon directly, I've never spoken to Levitt directly. Land is a confident guy. Landon is a very, very, very confident guy that I don't think would be too scared of the moment if it was presented to him to go out there and win us this game. And he's played a lot of football. I mean, he has a full year of starts. So, you know, you have that goal in form and he's got weaknesses. But, you know, his arm is spectacular. It is truly breathtaking.

How much torque he gets on the ball. And also, as like just a moon ball, deep ball, thrower, Russell Wilson in many ways. But his speed is truly, truly great. So, there you go. But yes, I do believe Sam starts. I do. I do. All right, oh. It is power, our LSU boom. And we'll say, if something else breaks tonight, we'll go live a little bit later. And I hope Georgia absolutely craps the bed. That's a random. I have a lot of Georgia supporters on the SEC channel. And you're coming to your talking trash tonight. We are doing. Let's go. Let's go.
